:rMPRovEMENT In' .HAY-ricamare' The Schedule referred to in theseLetters Patent aha making part of--tha same.

To dit whom "it may concern:

BeI it known `that I, Isaac J. PARKER, of VBuffalo Grove, in the countyof Baohananand State of Iowa,-

havc invented certain new' and 'useful Improvements l in CombinedHay-Rake and Loader; and I do hereby l declarethat the foilowing is afull, clear, and'exact deseripticnthereoi', reference being had totheaccompanying drawings, and tothe letters of -reference marked thereon,which forni"` part of this specification.`

The nature oi'li'ny invention consists in the con-' struction andarrangements? a combined hay-ralre nnd'ioader, as wiil behercinafterfully set forth.

In order to enable Others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to. make and use the saine, wli now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring t-o theannexed drawings, inwhichinder, i), slotted longitndinall y in four places', at eqnalfdistances apart.

'Directly under oropposite each slot, within the' drum, is placed aroller, E,"the top of which faces up even with the outside surface ofthe drnm.' f

In the rollers E E are spikes or teeth, a a, extend# l ing on theoutside or beyond the outer surface of Ashe cylinder,"for the purpose oftaking the hay ont 'ofthe lake. f

I'ilhese rollers have journals at their ends, which have their bearingsin the drum-heads, and loose, so as to' allow the rollers to turnorvibrate.

One of vthese journals for eachuoller passes through `the drum-head tarenough toadmit alever or weight, b, to he fastened on.

This lever passes .over a half circle, d, on the inside ofthe frame A.

This is so arranged that, when the rollers come to the proper place todischarge the hay, the lever drops down and throws the roller back, andthe teeth slip ont of the hay, leavingit to be ytaken up by the elevator.

G, on which the machine runs. v These wheels are provided with springratchets c c so that when the wheels run forward they willy torn the.axle, and with itthe entire machine, but, when they run backward, 'theywillturn on the axle', and not ,l'run the machine. f I

rlhe rake H is attachedto the frame above the drum. The teeth of therake are fixed in a frame,y so

' in the manner set forth. I

2. The arrangement of drum D, rollers e e, wiresfl On the ends of` theaxle G are placed the wheels Gr,v b

f, teeth o, o, rake H, levers b b, cam a, and elevators that they-.forma'. spring, so any object may pass under,

and they4 will spring hack again.

lhe teeth work close -'enough to th -drum so that the spikes a (t willtake the hay ont of the rake and throw it over on the elevator.

A series of-lwires, f f, passes around the drum D close to the'spike' orteeth a a, and attached to a crossharrnnder the-frame A, in front of thedrum, t-o keep d the hay from, passing below the elevator.

The elevator `consists of. a iight'amefl,made the widthV of the drum,and ,fastened at the bottoni, in front of the drum, and inclined. upwardtoward the front end of the machine, so ythat it will carry the hay npto. the top of the' load. l

In the frame I is a bottom, .at the upper and lower endsol' which lareshaft-switii pulleys, g, at each end.

Over these pulleys are endless belts,'lil h, running ort-topo?i'ielowthefbottoin-of the' fraineI, said endless belts being connectedby slats, yi t', `which may or may not be provided with teeth, as isdesired.

'This elevator isiixed to run like. a straw-carrier to athrashing-machine.` It is rnn by a belt, k, fronr a pulley on the axleC, to a pulley on thetop shaft of the elevator,a11'd from this pulleythereis a crossbelt, Z, to a pnlleyfm, above. The pulley m son ashaftplaced above the upper endof 'therelevatoiy and connected byendless'belts, u

u, toa shaft above the lower end of the elevator; said' endlessbeltsbeing also connected by slats 'o 0.

This forms, so to say, a double elevator, inthe cen.- ter of which t-hehay is carried up, so that the wind cannot blow it otif. """zlhcre is arod, p, fixed ftolthe' rake H, so that' the operator can raise it, whennecessary.

This machine is to be attached `to the axle of a wagon, with theelevatorextending over the hay-raek.

When the wagon is loaded the machinean be detached and attached toanother wagon, ready for loading. I Having thus fully described myinvention,

W'hat I claim as new, and desire 'to secure by Let` ters Patent, is-A ll. The combination of drnmi) with wires ff, when said `wires` passaround the drum, and are secured to a cross-piece in the rear thereof,for the purpose of preventing thehay from passing below the elevator,

It t' and n o, all operating,r as and for the purpose set forth. f

In testimony that I claim the foregoing asmyown, i aiix my signature inthe presence of t-wo witnesses. Witnesses: ISAAC J. PABIUJR.
